The house at 5558 Aylesboro Ave sits in the Murdoch Farms enclave of Squirrel Hill, carries 10 fireplaces behind its brick facade, and previously changed hands for $2,040,500 in 2018. Its $3.40 million closing on the first day of the reporting week led the five highest-priced home sales reported across the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania metro area for the week ending September 6, 2026, a group that combined for $10.86 million.
The list ranges from Squirrel Hill North and Oakmont on the Allegheny River to the acreage of Bell Acres and the Park Meadows community of Cranberry Township. Two of the week’s closings were new construction β a Shoreline residence at The River’s Edge of Oakmont and a still-unoccupied build in Park Meadows. Berkshire Hathaway The Preferred Realty agents held the listing side on three of this week’s five sales, and Howard Hanna Real Estate Services agents on the other two.
No. 1 — $3,395,000 · 5558 Aylesboro Ave, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
No. 1 on the list is the eight-bedroom Colonial at 5558 Aylesboro Ave in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill North, which sold for $3,395,000 on August 31.
Built in 1924, the house spans three levels and a reported 7,640 square feet. Listing materials describe renovated interiors that keep the home’s original character β high ceilings, leaded-glass details, custom woodwork and those 10 fireplaces β with hardwood floors, carpet and designer tile running through the layout, plus a chef’s kitchen, an executive office and a three-season side porch.
Outside, the grounds cover more than half an acre, with gardens, a covered patio, a porte cochere, a detached two-level, four-car garage and an in-ground trampoline set into the level yard.

No. 2 — $2,900,000 · 85 1st St, Oakmont, Pennsylvania
At No. 2, a newly built Shoreline residence at 85 1st St in Oakmont closed on September 3, 2026, for $2,900,000.
The four-bedroom home is part of The River’s Edge of Oakmont, a riverfront community elevated above the Allegheny River, and was marketed as the final Shoreline home available there, sited on the second-largest of the community’s Shoreline lots. Still under construction when it was offered, the house gave its buyer the chance to make interior selections. The design includes an in-home elevator serving all levels, 10-foot ceilings on the main level, wide-plank wood flooring, a coffered ceiling and built-in bar in the dining area, an open-concept kitchen with a large island, and a primary suite overlooking the water, with expansive windows, porches and private decks facing the river.
Residents of The River’s Edge share a clubhouse with a fitness center and an infinity pool, and the homeowners association handles lawn care, common areas and snow removal.

The No. 3 sale moved fast: 177 Camp Meeting Rd in Sewickley went under contract six days after the current listing date and closed at its full asking price, selling for $1,849,000 on September 4.
The five-bedroom colonial sits on 2.16 private acres in Bell Acres. Five fireplaces warm its formal and casual living rooms, and the gourmet kitchen carries a large center island, a gas cooktop, a pantry and Viking appliances. Detailed millwork, hardwood floors and updated multi-pane windows run through the interior, and primary suites on both the first and second floors set the house up for multigenerational living, with a finished lower level for recreation, fitness or media use.
The backyard was recently transformed by Bealls Landscaping around a new in-ground pool, with extensive hardscaping and fresh plantings. A three-car garage, public utilities and a location in the Quaker Valley School District round out the property, which previously changed hands for $1,000,000 in 2020.
Michelle Sager of Berkshire Hathaway The Preferred Realty was the listing agent. Nancy Snider of Coldwell Banker Realty represented the buyer. The six-day contract and full-price closing placed Sager’s listing at No. 3 on the week’s list.

No. 4 went to new construction in Cranberry Township, where a newly completed, still-unoccupied five-bedroom house at 148 Geisler Dr in the Park Meadows community sold for $1,365,000 on September 4.
The Aspen-model home presents a HardiePlank-and-brick exterior with a metal roof, black accents and a covered front porch with pillars, opening to a two-story foyer, 10-foot ceilings and luxury vinyl plank flooring across most of the main level. The kitchen centers on an oversized island topped with a single slab of Calcutta quartz, backed by a professional-grade 48-inch double gas oven, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and a dedicated morning room. A wall of windows frames the level backyard and the protected green space beyond, and sliding doors open to a covered, maintenance-free deck with a gas line plumbed for a grill.
A guest suite with a private full bath anchors the main level, while the primary suite upstairs adds an expansive walk-in closet and a flex room that can be finished as an office, nursery or second closet. A junior suite, two more bedrooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a walkout lower level roughed in for a future full bath and kitchen fill out the plan. Park Meadows connects by paved path to North Boundary Park, with walking and biking trails, a playground, a water park and sports fields.
